Death Wish 3 (1985)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: Michael Winner
Cast: Charles Bronson, Deborah Raffin, Ed Lauter
Time: 90 minutes

 


Following the events of the previous film, architect Paul Kersey spent about a year traveling to various cities doing his thing as a vigilante. He then comes back to New York City for the first time since he was kicked out of the city, to visit an old friend he met during the Korean War. Kersey arrives to find out his friend was beaten and killed by a group of thugs. He is first suspected of doing the crime, but, recognizing him, police chief Richard Shriker recruits him to collaborate with the cops. Kersey moves into his friend’s apartment and proceeds to try to clean up the city once again.

While the action is more intense at this point in the franchise, the acting really felt uninspired on everybody’s part. They just seemed to go through the motions.
